Češi v dějinách nové doby (1848–1939), 2. vydání


Nezvykle objemné dílo autorského tria Otáhal - Pithart - Příhoda vznikalo na sklonku 80. let jako protiváha tehdejšímu účelovému výkladu moderní české historie. Autoři se v něm pokoušejí o demontáž "českého národního mýtu" tak, jak byl systematicky budován nejen v minulém století, ale jak často přežívá i dnes. Kniha nastavuje nesmlouvavě přísné zrcadlo našemu pohledu na nedávnou českou historii - od roku 1848 do mnichovských událostí - a na naši roli v evropském politickém a společenském kontextu. I díky tomu vyvolalo první vydání této knihy také řadu polemických reakcí. Cílem autorů nebylo sepsání odborné historické práce - to ani podmínky původně zamýšleného samizdatového vydání neumožňovaly. Slovy jednoho z autorů Petra Pitharta je tato kniha spíše "netypickým esejem s řadou znepokojujících tázání". Kniha také přináší detailní pohled na období první československé republiky, bez růžového mámení, bez sentimentu a idealizující nostalgie, bez zjednodušujících stereotypů, bez pozdějších ideologických nánosů. Rovněž pohled na rodící se českou politiku po roce 1848 a nadcházející usilování o moderní českou státnost klade řadu otázek, zda a jak jsme v tomto díle obstáli, zda a jak jsme využili či promarnili šance, které nám dějiny stavěly do cesty. Současný čtenář má možnost ve vztahu probouzející se české politické reprezentace k rakouskému mocnářství odhalit také řadu paralel s dnešním vztahem české společnosti k evropskému projektu a k naší roli v něm.

K práci a obraně připraven


Stýská se vám po autoritářském režimu? Vzpomínáte na totalitu s nostalgií? Jak se nám tehdy za socialismu žilo, co se vyžadovalo, co se smělo a co už ne? Byla to opravdu tak špatná doba? Věřte, že ano, byla, a nedejbůh, aby se někdy vrátila. Připomeňme si ji vážně i nevážně se spisovatelem Lukášem Havlasem, který v ní vyrůstal a dospíva, a dokáže o socialistických časech s nadhledem a humorem vyprávět.

V starostlivosti o náš spoločný domov


Ekoteologický dialóg Chudáčika z Assisi a pápeža Františka k 800. výročiu Chválospevu stvorenstva 1225-2025 Mnohí pozorovatelia vnímajú súčasnú angažovanú Cirkev ako niečo nové, odvážne, dokonca až revolučné. No v skutočnosti ide o návrat k prameňom, k evanjeliu čítanému a žitému vo františkánskom duchu - s dôrazom na chudobu, bratstvo, mier, jednoduchý život a blízkosť tým najzraniteľnejším. Pápež František tieto hodnoty neimportuje zvonka, ale aktualizuje hlbokú a stáročia žitú tradíciu, ktorej meno sám nosí.

The Missing Thread


For centuries, men have been writing histories of antiquity filled with warlords, emperors and kings. But when it comes to incorporating women aside from Cleopatra and Boudica, writers have been more comfortable describing mythical heroines than real ones. While Penelope and Helen of Troy live on in the imagination, their real-life counterparts have been relegated to the margins. In The Missing Thread, Daisy Dunn inverts this tradition and puts the women of history at the centre of the narrative. These pages present Enheduanna, the earliest named author, the poet Sappho and Telesilla, who defended her city from attack. Here is Artemisia, sole female commander in the Graeco-Persian Wars, and Cynisca, the first female victor at the Olympic Games. Cleopatra may be the more famous, but Fulvia, Mark Antony's wife, fought a war on his behalf. Many other women remain nameless but integral. Through new examination of the sources combined with vivid storytelling Daisy Dunn shows us the ancient world through fresh eyes, and introduces us to an incredible cast of ancient women, weavers of an entire world.

Cartographic Poetry


“Poetry is language condensed; Blackfoot cartography is landscape distilled.” Cartographic Poetry is the first book-length, multidisciplinary study of five maps drawn in 1801 and 1802 by several Blackfoot and Gros Ventre people for the Hudson’s Bay Company. Representing some of the oldest documents created by Indigenous people on the North American prairies and foothills, these maps preserve invaluable evidence about places on the landscape, and about historic Blackfoot views of their territories. The maps were intended as navigational tools, but the landforms and locations on the maps hold significance for the Blackfoot well beyond wayfinding, and have for many centuries. Exploring their content and utility from historical, linguistic, and archaeological perspectives, Ted Binnema, François Lanoë, and Heinz W. Pyszczyk analyze the maps, their place names and features, and the tours and trips they may have supported, along with providing present-day photographs of many of the maps’ landforms. A final section of the book outlines how Indigenous maps contributed significantly to Western geographical knowledge and maps of North America from the 1500s onward. Cartographic Poetry will appeal to anthropologists, archaeologists, geographers, historians, cartographers, and to all readers interested in how Indigenous peoples perceived and navigated their territories in this early period of colonial encounter. With a Foreword by Jerry Potts Jr. and an Afterword by Dr. Eldon Yellowhorn.

Bearing Witness


Since the 1990s, modern slavery has been recognized as a global problem, with campaigners around the world providing assessments of its nature and extent, its drivers, and possible solutions for ending it. However, largely absent from the global antislavery movement''s discourse and policy prescriptions are the voices of survivors of slavery themselves. Survivors'' authentic voices are underemployed vital tools in the fight against modern slavery in all its forms. Through close readings of over 200 contemporary slave narratives, Andrea Nicholson repositions the history of the genre and exposes the conditions and consequences of slavery, and the challenges survivors face in liberation. Far from the trope of ''capture, enslavement, escape,'' she argues that narratives are rich and vitally important sources that enable the antislavery community to be gain important insights and build more effective interventions.

Native Nations


For centuries, Europeans assumed that indigenous Americans lacked the sophistication to build cities and establish hierarchies. For over a millennium, prior to and after the arrival of white colonialists, however, native nations had been adapting to changing climates, founding and abandoning urban centres and forging complex, democratic societies. In this magisterial new history of North America, Kathleen DuVal puts indigenous people back at the heart of the story. From the splendour of ancient cities like Cahokia and Moundsville to the careful diplomacy of native leaders in the face of colonial expansion, Native Nations reveals the diversity of indigenous civilisation and shows how a 1,000-year legacy still shapes America today, in struggles over sovereignty, climate and indigenous rights.

Unknown Enemy


''Riveting, timely and truly revelatory. The Organisation Todt is the Nazi-era secret that still needs to emerge from the shadows'' DAMIEN LEWIS, author of SAS Brothers in Arms and The Nazi Hunters''Charles Dick has done a major service to the history of the Third Reich. The Organisation Todt exploited camp prisoners and forced labourers as ruthlessly and murderously as the better-known SS, but its responsibility has never been properly explored'' RICHARD OVERY, author of Blood and RuinsDiscover for the first time the story of the Organisation Todt, a hidden and brutal organisation overseen by Hitler at the heart of the Nazi machine.Adolf Hitler described the Organisation Todt as ‘the greatest construction organisation of all time’. It was from this organisation, headed by Albert Speer, that Hitler enlisted the nation’s leading engineers and architects to build his empire of dreams. In time, it became a key partner to the SS and the Wehrmacht and led to the deaths of millions. Unknown Enemy reveals the full extent of the OT and its long arm across Europe and the Reich. In wartime, its operations relied mainly on Germany’s slave labour system, the largest exploitation of foreign labour since the end of the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Charles Dick takes us inside the OT’s vast building projects throughout German-occupied Europe, from the Arctic circle to the Balkans, to tell the story of how engineers and builders – so-called ‘ordinary men’ – perpetrated some of the gravest war crimes under its banner.Despite its extensive network, the Organisation Todt largely managed to slip under the radar of war prosecutors after Germany’s defeat. Drawing on extensive new research, first-person accounts and survivor testimony, Unknown Enemy finally unearths its dark story.

Kriegsmarine Atlantic Command 1939–42


Germany’s legendary Atlantic surface war was fought by Naval Group West. Superbly illustrated, this unpacks the details of how it operated and fought.Having spent the 1930s on an ambitious but confused bid to build a new battle fleet, Germany began World War II woefully unprepared. Under Marinegruppenkommando West, its heavy ships and raiders were tasked with challenging Allied dominance of the Atlantic. In this book, Kriegsmarine specialist Lawrence Paterson explores how Naval Group West took on the challenge. He reassesses the qualities of the fleet, and how the confusion over their original role meant that ships like the Bismarck were less than ideal for raiding. Operating as far afield as the Indian Ocean also relied on an elaborate tanker and supply network, as well as Germany’s superb signals intelligence. He also explains the complex Kriegsmarine command structure during the 1930s and early war, how responsibility for the ships veered between Naval Group West, the Naval Staff, and type commanders, and how the conquest of France transformed the command. He also explains how the Luftwaffe failed the surface fleet, both in scouting at sea and defending them in port.With superb artwork, 3D diagrams, maps and archive photos, this book explores and assesses Germany’s commerce war, from the Graf Spee’s cruise to the ill-fated exploits of Bismarck, and the final high-risk retreat from Brest, the Channel Dash.
